How to Use Transistors If you have understood correctly, how to use transistors in circuits, you might have already conquered half of electronics and its principles. In this post we make an effort in this direction. Introduction Transistors are 3 terminal semiconductor devices which is able to co...
Latches function well and are used frequently in alarm circuits. If triggered once, the sirens will flash indefinitely or the buzzer will sound indefinitely until someone manually removed the power. In this circuit, we will use 2 transistors to form a latch. These are the BC547 transistor an...
In this project, we will show how to incorporate a transformer into a circuit. A transformer is a very essential part for many types of circuits. Transformers allow for a lot of different functionality in a circuit. And they are widespread in use. Therefore, knowing how to use them is ver...
Connecting transistors in parallel is a process in which the identical pinouts of two or more transistors are connected together in a circuit in order to multiply the power handling capacity of the combined parallel transistor set. In this post I have explained how to safely connect multiple trans...
Check if the chosen transistor is stable (i.e. functioning for a long period of time ensures reliability) Margin of error in the final circuit does not impede the circuit Judgement : Usable or Not Judgement as to whether it is OK to use a selected transistor or not shall be done based ...
The transistor is a simple component that you can use to build a lot of fun projects. In this hands-on guide, you’ll learn how transistors work so that you can use them in your next circuit. And it’s actually pretty easy, once you learn the basics. I’ll focus on the two most...
etc. This minimizes the number of GPIO pins needed to drive the segments. Here is a TopDesign for a 8 digit 7 segment (plus DP) Common Cathode LED drive. It uses 8 GPIO pins to drive the segments and 8 GPIO pins to drive the commons. Also note, that I use PNP transistors with ...
Get experience using the transistor as a switch. People also ask ... How do electronic circuit work? What skills do you need for electronics? How do you use a circuit? How can I learn circuits? In this video I will used the MESH method to find the voltage from the collector to the ...
While many digital multimeters these days have a specific capability for testing diodes and sometimes transistors, not all do, especially the older analogue multimeters that are still in widespread use.However it is still quite easy to perform a simple go / no-go test using the simplest of ...
Often used with switching transistors and high-power electronics to filter out noise in power supply lines, ferrite beads employ magnetic materials to produce a lossy inductance when inserted into a circuit. While ferrite beads themselves can be relatively simple in their design (e...
